Twenty-Something (Concert Version)

WOMAN 1My whole life is right in front of me.I can go anywhere.Two whole decades can’t prepare you for the momentWhen the page is blank before you and you’re barely even twenty-something.

WOMAN 2Nothing’s standing in my way.No one’s holding me back.

MAN 2College ended and there’s no one here to tell meNot to hit the bars and rent some cars.I’ll fuck around

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 2But then I’m gonna change the world.It’s the generation twenty-something ascending.We might be young, we might be poor,But we know we deserve much more than what our parents have.

WOMAN 2Who knows what that’ll be?

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 2But we’re ready to discover if there’s life after the Wii.‘Cause as long as we’re still young and fresh and twenty-something,We’re free.

WOMAN 1This is it. This is what’s hot.

MAN 2It’s your moment. It’s your decade.

WOMAN 1, MAN 2But you’re only twenty-something ‘til you’re not.

WOMAN 2Hurry up. Do it now.

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 2If you don’t,If you blink,Then it’s over.

WOMAN 3Show me something I can get behindAnd I’m already there.

MAN 1I’ve got time to kill until my life becomes more real.

WOMAN 3, MAN 1The time is now

WOMAN 3For wearing heels

MAN 1For roommates

WOMAN 3Drugs

MAN 1For chance encounters.

ALLRaise a glassTo the generation twenty-something, ascending.We might be young, we might be poorBut we know we deserve much more

WOMEN, MAN 2Than what our parents have.More than some damn degree.We’re the target demographic.We’re the reason for TV.We’re obsessively and definitely twenty-something.

MAN 2And free.

WOMENDon’t think about tomorrow.

ALLThere’s enough to do today.I’m young, smart, on my way.This is my day.You blinked.You’re not twenty-something.

ALL (IN CANON)This is it. This is what’s hot.It’s your moment. It’s your decade.But you’re only twenty-something ‘til you’re not.Hurry up. Do it now.If you don’t, if you blink, then it’s over.Don’t think about tomorrow.There’s enough to do today.I’m young, smart, on my way.This is my day.You blinked.You’re not twenty-something.

ALL (IN UNISON)I’m young, smart, on my way.This is my day.You blinked.You’re not twenty-something.Raise a glassTo the generation twenty-something, ascending.

WOMAN 1Oh.

ALL (WOMAN 1)We might be young (Young)We might be poor (Poor)But we know (We know)We deserve much more.
